Volkswagen has unveiled its ID. EVERY1 show car – an entry-level all-electric concept that will form the basis of the production model due to go on sale in 2027.
This new city car is estimated to have a starting price of around £18k.
The launch of the ID. EVERY1 will follow the launch of the ID. 2all in 2026. Both models are part of the new Electric Urban Car Family with front-wheel drive, which is being developed under the umbrella of the Core brand group in the Volkswagen Group. They are based on Volkswagen’s new modular electric drive platform: the MEB with front-wheel drive.
With the European launch of the all-electric Urban Car Family from 2026, Volkswagen promises ‘the most diverse portfolio in the high-volume segment’ – from efficient combustion-engine models and advanced hybrids to future-oriented all-electric vehicles.
Volkswagen’s future plan is to have nine new models by 2027, including four electric models based on the new modular electric drive (MEB) platform with front-wheel drive.
VW’s CEO Thomas Schäfer said: “The ID. EVERY1 represents the last piece of the puzzle on our way to the widest model selection in the volume segment. We will then offer every customer the right car with the right drive system – including affordable all-electric entry-level mobility.
“Our goal is to be the world’s technologically leading high-volume manufacturer by 2030.”
The production version of the ID. EVERY1 will be the first model in the entire Group to use a fundamentally new, particularly powerful software architecture. This means that the future entry-level Volkswagen can be equipped with new functions throughout its entire life cycle if its users so wish. Even after purchase of a new car, the vehicle can still be individually adapted to their needs.
Following the ID. 2all and the sport version ID. Concept GTI, the ID. EVERY1 belongs to the Electric Urban Car Family and is based on the new modular electric drive platform.
The concept vehicle reaches a top speed of 90mph and is powered by a newly developed electric drive motor with 70 kW (95 PS). The range is at least 180 miles. With a length of 3,880 mm, the ID. EVERY1 is positioned between the former up! (3,600 mm), the ID. 2all (4,050 mm) and the current Polo (4,074 mm). Inside, it offers space for four people and a luggage compartment volume of 305 litres.
